The Society For the Relief of Destitute Orphan Boys
The Society for the Relief of Destitute Orphan Boys, a Presbyterian organization established in 1824, operates the Waldo Burton Memorial Home in New Orleans, Louisiana. This facility, built in 1921 and named in memory of William Lafayette Burton's son, provides a residential home for boys aged six to sixteen, reflecting the organization's commitment to supporting youth in need.
Originally serving only white Protestant orphans, the Society evolved alongside the modern civil rights movement, resulting in the integration of its programs. Today, the Waldo Burton Memorial Home continues to serve as a vital resource for boys, promoting their welfare and development within the community.
